Many of our members live in the north of England,
so this year our National moved from its usual location in the Midlands
to the Crich Tramway Museum, Derbyshire, vastly reducing an arduous
long journey for those from way up north who would not normally be
able to attend.

While SD1 nuts buried their heads in engine
bays and drooled over the cream of our cars on display, the Tramway
Museum also provide a very different National meeting for our wives
and children with many alternative attractions for the day – most
important! The Tram rides and museum exhibits proving very popular.

This year we had a good contingent from our
North West/North Wales region. A camp site nearby (for a night over)
proved a popular choice for members who wanted to make the most of
a once in a year opportunity to have a good chat and a drink with
members from distant regions.

Tents were quickly erected to provide a perfect
situation and ample time for the serious business of downing a few
pints after the long journey, the girls didn’t miss a trick
either with some outdoor relaxation... ah, happy days!

Around the museum village, cars were squeezed
into every corner… that many cars turned up!

Competition for the best cars on the day was
intense. Our judges don’t miss a trick, leaving no areas unexamined.

This year's winners from the judging Competition
are:

Best Series 1, 6 Cylinder – Jon Harper

Best
Series 2, 6 Cylinder – Hoppy Hopkins

Best Series 1, V8 – Gary Moreton

Best Series 2, V8 – Paul Kefford

Chairman’s Choice – Bouke Van Der
Wal, VDP EFI from Holland

Best moment of the day for the winners – trophies
and photo line up!!

Some of our members like to stretch their legs,
well.. being honest, get in their cars for a drive around the surrounding
area. So a convoy set off to take in some scenic vibes!!

After some light refreshment, tea and cakes,
it was time to leave and say goodbye to Crich Tramway village and
a chance to view some of the glorious scenery on the way home.
